What is the best cart system that will work with this theme?
Hey trocity, as of now Salient doesn’t have default support for any eCommerce platform. Some buyers have used WooCommerce, but I expect there’s have to be a few mods to get it to play nice.
I’d like my Portfolio categories to display in the top menu and sidebar. How do I do this? Thanks in advance.
Hey trocity, thanks for purchasing the theme!
As of now, in order to have separate pages display specific categories you would have to create layouts for each one. Then to link to them, you could create custom menu links to the portfolio categories.
Here’s a guide written up on the topic http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/46881/search/
Hello,
Can you please provide info on how to upgrade from the previous version? I am running the pre-June 9 update version. I want to upgrade so I have access to the new Masonry Blog. Looks really nice.
Thanks!
Hey candlewall!
All you have to do is download a fresh copy from ThemeForest, delete the old version on your server and upload the new. I recommend using FTP, but you can also do this in your admin panel if you prefer.
Also, you won’t lose your content as it’s stored in the database rather than the theme itself so don’t worry about that 
Cheers
Bought this theme 2 hours ago, some question.
1. How to disable the sticky menu ?
2. How to remove Posted by AND No Comments ?
3. How to change the background color to white color ?
Hey sai2,
1. The theme only gives you the built-in option to turn off the header resize on scroll effect. If you wish to disable the header being fixed at the top, you would have to do some CSS modding.
2. You can modify the meta information for blog posts inside of the includes/post-templates files
3. Please see this ticket http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/55227/search/
I just bought this wonderful theme.
Wish you can add the Grid View (2-3 column) and Google+ Sharing in future.
Hey sai2, thanks for purchasing!
Are you requesting a grid view for the blog page?
yes, grid view for blog instead of mansory in future version. Can u pls answer my question below about sticky menu posted by background color, pls check below thread.
Answered you in both places you posted it sai2
Hi,
How can I delete the search icon in the header?
Hey oberferdi, thanks for purchasing the theme!
Please see this ticket in regards to your question themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/52594/
Hi Nectars,
May i suggest some of the amazing little things to be added to the next update?
1. Can we have dropcaps please? It makes paragraphs more interesting to look at.
2. Then can we have “background image” feature/shortcode? There are many theme that provides it and it make room for maniy design possibilities.
3. Can you enable colored background separation within a single page? It is like those “onepage” sites, it helps to break the monotony of a single page when it is long. I can point you to an example theme that has it, but i think it is not too appropriate to list it on your theme page… unless you doesn’t mind
All in all, these seem like minor small enhancements, but these little enhancements and details will make the theme much more robust and beautiful i believe
Hey Luffie!
Thanks for taking the time to write up all the features you’d like to see. I will take them into consideration for future updates
I just recently purchased this amazing theme. I’m having an issue with videos not playing.
I uploaded a .m4v file but it won’t play for some reason. Am I doing something wrong. I’ve also embedded a video but the dimensions are way off.
http://melaniebennett.net/college-conspiracy/Hello slydinc,
your URL leads to an infected site and I don’t see your “purchased” tag for some reason.
Ooops wrong theme. Quick question before I purchase. With this theme could you setup your blog page to display certain posts if so, how?
The theme handles the blog section just like any other standard WordPress blog. If you wish to display certain posts through it you could make a category and only assign the posts you want to display in that. Then just create a link to that category page and you’re done
Awesome! Thanks going to purchase now!
Cheers 
Hi,
First of all i want to say that i am very happy with the theme. It is one of the best out there in the market at the moment ( i really enjoy the fact that you guys made it easy for us with no coding experience to use it).
I have tried to google my issue but found no correct solution. Basically i am working in the About Team page and under the picture of the team members i want to have “email” linked to their email address. Thus when i click it opens an email application.
I would appreciate a lot if you could help me out on this issue.
Best Regards,
Amir
Thanks amirk90!
You’d have to edit the shortcode-processing.php file, this is where the shortcodes get parsed into HTML markup. You can make an email address actually link to an email by using the mailto function in the link.
e.g.<a href="mailto:themenectar@gmail.com">themenectar@gmail.com</a>
Just search that file for ”//Team Member” and you’ll end up at the right section. Since you mentioned you might not be familiar with coding this mod might prove confusing for you. If you need some help just me know and I’ll get you in contact with a developer
thanks it worked like a charm.
Great to hear!
Hi there,
Great theme, but a slight problem with the home slider.
One of the slides has a video embedded in it from Vimeo. If the user clicks play on the video without having any other interaction with the slider then it continues to rotate through the slides.
Is there any way to overcome this and have it stop rotating when someone hits play?
Cheers.
Hey tarnishedstudios, thanks for purchasing the theme!
There’s no easy way to accomplish that with iframe embeds. This is because the videos are located at an external location (vimeo) and events can’t be bound to them. The best solution would be to use the self hosted video option. If you go that route, your slider will stop rotating when the user interacts because Salient has the correct events in place for them
Hi,
I’m deciding on a design. Could you tell me why your desing is better than the Coffee & Cream | Multipurpose Wordpress Theme? Can I have a standard background and infinite scrolling with your design as well?
Thanks
Hey SimonaDus!
Design is subjective and I don’t want to sit here and compare which theme has more features. Only you can make the decision of what theme is right for you. Just go with what you personally feel will work better for your website
Also, as of now there’s no infinite scrolling support in Salient.
Cheers
Hi, Is there an easy way to just add my tel no [icon size=”tiny” image=”icon-phone-sign”] 01225 44 25 66 into the top right navbar?
Hey designbull!
Open up your header.php file and locate the nav section (it should be near line 51 depending on your version) Just add your info in a new list item before the search button.
<li>[icon size=”tiny” image=”icon-phone-sign”] 01225 44 25 66</li>
Thanks but I tried this and it doesn’t recognise the icon shortcode – and when I remove this and just have tel, it doesn’t line up centre with the menu list? See: http://designbull.co.uk/dev/
I forgot to mention that you would need to add the shortcode inside of a do_shortcode function in order for WP to process it correctly. Also, you need to have your menu item in a link for the spacing to be applied correctly.
<li><a href=""><?php echo do_shortcode('[icon size=”tiny” image=”icon-phone-sign”]'); ?> 01225 44 25 66</a></li>
Thanks, that’s lined it up but the icon shortcode still doesn’t show (but I’ve replaced with a T for now.
Ah, probably the header css overwriting the icon styles. You could tinker with it if you still want it
Hi, Working on a website. In a narrow browser modus the menu opens on a click or tap. But in this modus, only submenu items can be opened and take you to a linked page. But the main menu items cannot be accessed as a separate link. But the cms allows me to connect a page to a mainmenu item. Is this a bug? You can check it in my project: http://www.responsivedesigninfo.nl/wat-is-responsive-design/de-feiten/
So: ‘wat-is-responsive-design’ is not clickable in the narrow modus, but it is in the broad one.
Hey Foresthans, thanks for purchasing the theme!
Yes, this is how the theme’s menu has worked since release. I think it’s about time I changed the script to allow both linking of the parent page and opening of the sub menu
Look for this feature in the next minor update
Ok thanks! I’ll work around it…
You’re welcome!
Hey guys,
sorry one more question! Is it possible to add a parallax footer to the site instead of the static one it has now? so when you scroll down the footer is revealed from under the site?
Thanks
Petee
Hey Pete!
That mod is possible, but you’d have to be comfortable with CSS to make it yourself since nothing in the theme itself will aid you.
I’m waiting for the Grid View List, the only reason that stop me buy this theme.
Maybe one day, sai2!
Awesome Theme!! indeed. I have a couple of questions for finish a project with Salient, (I bought one the template), please could you help me? maybe dummy questions
1. How can I change the word “PORTFOLIO” in the portfolio page
2. I don’t have the option Gallery Slider in the portfolio project configuration
3. It is posible put a background?
Really appreciate for your time All the best!
Hey pablorosero, thanks for purchasing the theme!
1. Do you mean just the page title? That’s editable just like any other page. If you’re referring to the sort portfolio button as well – that’s configurable through the portfolio options tab in your theme options panel.
2. Those instructions actually only apply when using WordPress 3.6. WordPress 3.5 still has the old way of uploading a gallery which is using multiple featured images. You should see 6 boxes for them on the right hand side
3. You can, but it would require you to make custom CSS classes to target specific pages and apply the image.
Hello ThemeNectar! thanks for your respond, I appreciate that!
1. I mean the word “Portfolio” below the logo http://www.campamentoairelibre.com/home/?page_id=24
2. Thanks, I will get the 3.6 version
3. I resolve that with a plugin
And have another questions, as you can see in the link above, I am working in spanish, therefore I need to change the words “view larger” and “more details” to spanish when I use this shortcode [recent_projects title_labels=”true”]. I got it in the portfolio page, but here I can get in: http://www.campamentoairelibre.com/home/
APPRECIATE FOR YOUR SUPPORT, ALL THE BEST!
No problem!
Just make sure you add a title to your page in the bottom header settings box
The labels in that recent projects shortcode are defined by you in the portfolio options tab in your theme options panel they’re at the bottom as “Custom Recent Projects Title” & “Custom Recent Projects Link Text”
Hi, Great theme was wondering about a few things.
Currently the ‘view larger’ button, on the portfolio page only links to one image (the first featured image)
1. How can I make it so that the lightbox links to more than one image?
2. When it does open in the lightbox, there is no option to resize the image. How do I change that?
3. Can I make the title of the project appear in the lightbox?
thanks
Hey kan_kan!
1&2. Not without custom modification to the lightbox script.
3. There is support built in for titles, but the theme doesn’t use it. This would be a fairly easy mod to the portfolio file
Hi. the default language of my website is English. And I’ve added Turkish as a second language. I’ve set up two static home pages for both languages and choosen English page from the Reading menu.
But when I click “RECENT WORK / VIEW ALL WORK” link from EN home page, it shows up Turkish portfolio (http://mfrevnaki.com/isler/) instead of English portfolio.
You can check out this problem from here; http://mfrevnaki.com/en/Similarly; when I display one of my works and click to PORTFOLIO button form right on top, it turns to Turkish again.
You can check this from here as well; http://mfrevnaki.com/portfolio/mehmet-fatih-revnaki-personal-logo-concept/Btw I use Polylang plugin for translation.
Thank you very much. Mehmet.
Hey mfrevnaki, thanks for buying the theme!
I have helped out another buyer with a similar problem when using a multi language plugin. Here’s the relevant ticket: http://themenectar.ticksy.com/ticket/56829/search/
Since you’re using a different plugin the end code will be different but this should give you a solid guide
Hello again! Its a great theme! I loved it.
I could not make it work in my Polylang plugin. If I purchase WPML which version should I buy? - Multilingual Blog or - Multilingual CMS?
Thank you!
I believe the CMS version is the one you will need.
I’m very interested in buying this theme. It’s AMAZING. It’s for a church and I want to know if there is any calendar or event short code to display events.
Hey banestin!
There’s no built in calendar/event system, but you could always use plugins for extra functionality such as that
Hey Alex,
You need to include “http://” in the beginning of your links. Otherwise the browser will interpret the link as a relative link within your site
Fantastic service..! Thank you so much for coming back to me so quickly, fix worked perfectly. Cheers
You’re very welcome tt801!
